| Summary | Annotation The classic first edition, now back in printEnvironmental Biotechnology: Principles and Applications is the essential tool for understanding and designing microbiological processes used for environmental protection and improvement. The book lays a foundation in microbiology and engineering principles and provides comprehensive coverage of all the major environmental applications, from traditional ones like activated sludge and anaerobic digestion to emerging applications like detoxification of hazardous chemical and biofiltration of drinking water. An abundance of worked examples that show in a step-by-step way how the tools are used in analysis and design enrich the discussion. Environmental Biotechnology is the authoritative source for learning how processes in environmental biotechnology work and how to create reliable processes to meet contemporary and emerging needs. Students, practitioners, and researchers will find this book invaluable.Key features of this first edition include:Consistent backup of the fundamental principles of microbiological processes by their practical applications.Discussion of the traditional applications (e.g., activated sludge and anaerobic digestion) and the emerging applications (e.g., bioremediation and drinking water treatment).Numerous examples illustrating how the design and analysis tools are applied correctly.Each chapter consists of many problems, ranging in scope, that can be assigned as homework, used as supplemental examples in class, or used as study tools.Abundant use of figures to illustrate concepts. |
